Fiddler on the Roof Part 1

[Cindy507]

Such a warm, wonderful movie. It's hard not to relate with any of its characters.

[sissieurope]

I can watch this movie a thousand times I never get tired.

Tzeitel look like me.

Thank for posting in you-tube

[Appaloosaism]

Lol even in the beginning the Butcher has his eye on Tzeitel.

[krjmom0509]

Bad

[Ornithologygirl]

what were the daughters names in the movie hudda sidel? and who?

[lilmissrom]

I saw Chaim Topol (the guy who plays Tevye in the movie) play the same role live on stage! Best performance of my life -3

[GummyBev]

I love this film especially for the symbolic placement in the title

[JBicks18]

Google captions: "Revamped dishes fire. How to steve. How to read..." "This shows that comes from the grocery problems."

ACTUAL script: "traditions for everything. how to sleep, how to eat.." "This shows our constant devotion to God."

Google, clearly, is not the answer to everything.

[owlloveu4ever]

[Silmirel]

My all time favourite musical! Watched it since before I can remember! :) Thanks for uploading!

[gdlksim]

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

[cheshirelizzy]

I will always, always, always love Fiddler on the Roof and especially Topol!

All these high school and broadway remakes don't do the justice to the original.

[InfiniteSpiral112358]

did any of you know that Sinead O'Connor said that above all things she experienced growing up, that this movie/play had THE most effect on her than anything. she said she must have seen it millions of times. she says she still watches it anytime she needs inspiration. i was a bit surprised to hear her say that because when i was like 7 i would make my parents crazy by making them repeat this movie over and over almost daily... hahahhahha.

[jdawnvoge1982]

@Robsquatch He WILL be a great New York Jew. Remember he and his family are going to New York to stay with Uncle Avram?

[zabi2711]

can anybody please provide me the play script of fiddler on the list.

[zabi2711]

@777MetalDude : Can you please provide me with the play script of this play. I am searching it allover the internet but only found script without the characters being mentioned with the dialogues.

[leptismagna10]

4:14 when you don't know how your traditions got started or where they came from, how could you possibly know who you are.

[efil4own1]

@Robsquatch In the end of the movie, he became one!

[animetion1012]

i  [play fiddler

[smythe17]

this movie made me want to be jewish.

hand's down, my favorite musical! ^_^

[allamericandiner]

@smythe17 ditto for everything~ an all time fav movie...i'm sure if i bled while watching this movie, i'd bleed the star.

[TheThordir]

Tevye reminds me of a nice, warm and loving grandfather n_n.

[jrmetmoi]

Tradishuuuuuuuuun Tradition!.........TRAH-DI-SHU­N!!!!!

[emmy7861]

TRADITION 

[TheLittleFanMade]

i hate it when people don't upload the entire film.

[MELISSA84008]

..thanx for the upload!! :D  .(is there any way to turn up the volume?)

[GreenDevilAngel]

Its a wonderful beauty movie.

But we should be careful.

This movie is not a prove that any religion is better than an other.

So we have a new fight or war with bood n death.

All religin have the same idee. The feel the universal mistic power. The infinite energy.

I think its danger to say it has a name. than we struggle: Fritz! -No! Peter! - No!! Fritz!! - !!! - !!!! - !!!!!! ......

and we all know whats the result.

Anyway, its a wonderful beauty film.

[drewboy108]

'how did this tradition get started?, I tell you..... I don't know" This movie is hilarious, being a Muslim it has given me brand new respect for the Jewish faith.

[ebatdorf09]

Thank you for writing this because it gives others a new respect for the Muslim faith! :) 

[drewboy108]

@ebatdorf09 I'm glad to hear that

[Eponae]

@drewboy108

Thank you, that is very kind of you. I now have more respect for Muslims!

[jbizzle871]

I just finished my closing night playing Perchik in my school's production of Fiddler on the Roof. It is by far the best experience I have ever had on stage. L'Chaim!

[13evertomorrow]

@jbizzle871 ahh, yes, L'Chaim

[shroey20]

wearing a tzitzith is NOT a tradition it is clearly written in shma yisrael

[Mrdiablorox]

I love this musical, I was the Rabbi! Summer Theatre 2010!!!!

[Agapewc999]

Tevye was just fantastic!!! :)

[Agapewc999]

I also really really appreciate Tevye! He was just fantastic in his role :)

[fmljkjk12]

I ABSOLUTLY LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!! i know all the songz and stuff!!!! im such a dork!!

[Babagula89]

thank you for uploading it here:)

[90glmc]

@lemonvamp I like this movie and I am Jewish and very religious however I know people who do not approve of this movie! I don't know if they are offended by it but they don't like it because they have some facts wrong. Truth be told this movie was made very well and that's really how it was in those days but it's a little different now days so....

[thewikerman]

does anybody know what the little melody being played by the fiddler at the very start? Everytime I hear it I end up playing it for weeks afterwards just between practicing.

[tgreer72]

@thewikerman the song is the theme song called "Fiddler on the Roof" I remember learning this in grade school in music class. From what I gather, this song was possibly cut from the movie version?

a portion of the song:

Away above my head I see the strangest sight

A fiddler on the roof who's up there day and night

He fiddles when it rains, he fiddles when it snows

I've never seen him rest, yet on and on he goes

[simplyme4815]

Judism awesomeness in movie form! Lol respect 4 all religions tho :)

[pantheongirl24]

wasn't the fight between the horse suppose to be if it was a horse or a muel?

[drewboy108]

this movie is really funny, being a muslim I have respect for the jewish faith, and I'm slavic so this movie just fits great, hilarious!

[solotu0123]

OMGGZZEUS! <33

[njattack]

Fiddler on the Roof is the Jew's movie bible.

[soulierinvestments]

Among the biggest mistakes ever made by the members of AMPAS: in 1972 they did not award Fiddler on the Roof best film, best written adaption, and best direction of 1971. Compared to this, The French Connection looks like something held up on the end of a toothpick.

[dlamb8158]

is there words to this

[therealmarige]

@Robsquatch ... wasn't he?  I thought he was. At least, he was while he played the part on Broadway... for years and years.

[nosports28]

Probably my favourite musical. Thanks for uploading! But Chaim Topol is that great in this one, that noone dares to to play Tevje his own way on stage.

[Hobbitteen]

Yes =D tevye would have been awesome =D!!!! i love him 83

[69adrummer]

This is so not PC now-a-days! And that's fine by me!

[LemonVamp]

@69adrummer

What?! I'm Jewish, and me and my family and. Well, I don't know a single Jewish person who doesn't like this musical, let alone someone who was offended by it!

[aleigha0707]

@LemonVamp Hell yeah! If anything, most Jew's I know love it all the more because it is based around what their families in the past might have been like: Tradionalists but also kind and caring, cautious and virtuous.

[bugbug0402]

my brother played Tevye in a play that he did

[jarrellmckenna]

Many people ask where did our tradition come form ill tell you. I don't know " Man is he funny.

[WEISSKRAFT]

Damnit we missed another one, oh well time for another Holocaust

[serai7]

is it supposed to have barely any sound?

[13evertomorrow]

@serai7 yes so you have to be quiet to LISTEN.... or at least, that's what any school teacher would tell you :P

[Charlenejl]

@serai7 That's what I wanna know. I noticed that majority of the videos on Fiddler have low song.

[MonumentEncasedInAsh]

Thanks for uploading this! I've never really liked musicals, but I've always loved this movie!

[baroquemusician1]

He wants to know where the tradition started? I would expect it started with the Pharisees and maybe the Sadducee's. They started many traditions - some good, some not so good.  Washing your hands before dinner was a pretty good one I'd say :) Saved them from the plague years latter, or so they say.

[13evertomorrow]

@baroquemusician1 haha so they say

[Whitepaperclip]

Oh my school's doing this play! I'm playing Fyedka. (SP?) And I'm female. But I asked for the part because my friend is playing Chava. XD

[VamLoveAndKisses]

We are putting this play on at my school in about 2 weeks! It is such a great play!

[13evertomorrow]

@VamLoveAndKisses yes, agreed!!!

[ChaosControlFreak96]

for a recital im singing "if i were a rich man"

[mrceebees14]

The volume is too low.

[leporello56]

Turn it up

[mrceebees14]

It's all the way up, he set the descibals too low when he uploaded the movie you jackass.

[leporello56]

fool

[Canlander7]

Where can I find this on DVD? or is it on DVD yet? Maybe even Bluray?

[things2400]

I don't know where to find it, but it is on DVD.

[mplsmn1975]

I've always liked that minor-key sound used in Jewish music. Even in an upbeat song, there's an almost somber flavor to it.

[leporello56]

Its the flattened second

[mplsmn1975]

Yeah, you just take the middle note of a chord a half-step down. It makes quite a difference in the sound, though.

[leporello56]

No no! I mean it is in a major key but the 2nd in the scale is flattened. For example; say we're in c major. Play a c major scale. Now play it again but play a D flat instead of D natural. Thats how a lot of jewish music is built

[mplsmn1975]

Yeah, that's what I meant. Going from D natural to D flat is a half-step down. A chord in D major will be almost identical to a chord in D minor with the exception of the tonal center. The key signature will indicate that all occurrences of D are to be played a half step down (which in this case is D flat.) These are usually referred to as accidentals.

[mplsmn1975]

Oops! Wrong wording. (I hate it when I do that.) What I should have said is that the tonal center for D major is F sharp/tonal center for D minor is F natural. (Right concept/wrong notes - my bad.) But, I'm sure you understood what I meant, anyway. It may seem like I have that backwards, but if you play it, you'll hear that playing F natural in the key of D will definitely change it to D minor. In the key of C major, the tonal center is E natural & for C minor, the tonal center is E flat.

[leporello56]

Look. This particular piece of music, like a lot of Jewish music, swaps between being in a major and a minor key. It also makes use of flattening the second note in th SCALE not the CHORD. Do you understand?

[mplsmn1975]

I am aware of key changes within music. I've been a musician for about 28 years. I was only talking about what turns a major chord into a minor chord. (I realize you were talking in terms of scales and I was talking in terms of chords, but both follow similar patterns and are very much related.) I've played Jewish songs and they do make use of what I was talking about as well. I didn't say you were incorrect about anything, just letting you know that I do know what I'm talking about.

[mplsmn1975]

Sorry I didn't answer your question. Yes, I understand what you mean. A note that's flattened in a key in which it ordinarily wouldn't be? (accidental) You're right, they do that a lot.

[leporello56]

Look. I think you and I are having two different conversations. You're confusng me and I think I'm confusing you, so lets just agree with each other. I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was merely adding to what you said. I meant flattening the "supertonic", or "re" note in the music. I think its best we just agree before this gets ugly! :)

[mplsmn1975]

You're right. I guess I did misinterpret things a bit. We can't always convey what we want, how we want it to be taken, or the tone of voice implied when we have nothing but text to rely on. (But yes, I totally agree with what you said.)

[Monnymoo123]

@leporello56

thats pretty much Judaism's history ain't it..

swapping from major chords to minor, and back to major.

[xochequetsal]

please dont say that Topol can be tho ONLY one! My science teacher last year got that part for a play when he was twenty something and he brought in video...it was amazing!

[brosue4]

I've got tickets to see Topol's last performance in Boston on Saturday. I can't wait! Topol is the only Tevye!!

GOD BLESS CHAIM TOPOL!!!!!

[PERSIABANDERI1970]

TOPOL FOREVER!!!

[darthgrahf]

I love Chaim Topol. He's the only one who can play Tevye.

[PapagenoJuan]

thanks for posting!!!!

One of my fav. of all time!!! :D

the Rabbi always cracks me up xD

TRADITION!!!

[crutchfieldmom]

I just saw his final performance in Spokane last month, and it was soooo wonderful! I loved watching this as a child

[Sunsetmello]

this movie scared me when i was little.

[REKONBALL2]

lol me too

[rdhead184]

is tevye pronounced like TEV-yay?

[slav777sacrament]

it's tev-yeh. the russian 'e' is always pronounced 'yeh' not yay. russian is complex. lol

[Submit92]

Tevye is Yiddish for the hebrew Tovya.

[burningbridges22]

psh yeah it is! i'm learning it!

кэила hahaha ya gavaroo pa-ruski!

[panfilo98410]

what to these guys ask the rabbi?? i dont get it, is some kind a joke, i can see that, but what's so funny?????o_0

[hardcoreharcourt]

bascs...the Tsar was no friend to the Jews...thus the prayer is that God may look after the Tsar and keep him "FAR away from us"...like you say "keep" to mean look after, but in this sense they mean to keep him away from them! hoooooope this helps *_*

[panfilo98410]

ooouuuuu i get :D is funny, cool thanks

[xstarxreaderx]

I know P: Ish confusing o.o

[troubles47]

Yea, they're kind of expecting a joke from their rabbi, because rabbis are known as kind of being there for their people in every way possible, including a sort of entertainment.

[davidjb100]

I just saw Topol in his farewell tour three days ago! It was incredible. He's 73, and he's still got it!

[troubles47]

I bet it was quite of experience, what was he doing/performing?

[davidjb100]

He portrayed Tevye just as perfectly as he did in 1971. He added a bit of improvisation too, and I must say it was a joy to behold.

[lush1609]

where r dee odr parts????i would really appreciate it if u put dem up

[silverb419]

Where are the other parts?

[ebaimusix101]

um where are the others?
